Chapter Eighteen

Freya

Gavin’s face breaks into a wide grin as he looks up at me, and his eyes fill with hope as if I am his savior. The Brotherhood stands behind me, making me seem like the lesser of two evils.

“Oh, Freya! Aren’t I glad to see you? Now be a little sweetie and untie me.” He tries to stand but falls to his knees again.

I look down at him, my heart racing, and my chest rises and falls rapidly. The nerve of this guy. The amount of shit he’s put my mother through . . . and now he’s at my feet, begging me to save him.

With a calculated move, I lower myself down, the cold metal of the knife pressing against his throat, and his eyes widen. The sharp tip pierces his skin, causing a trickle of blood to run down his neck. I hate him.

“Please, Freya! I’ll do anything you want. I’ve got money. Is that what you want?” Gavin begs, his eyes glazing over. The strong asshole act is gone, and now he’s on his knees, pleading for a lifeline.

Hazen laughs and walks over to stand behind Gavin. “That’s the reason you’re here, Gavin. You owe not only your boss money, but in turn, us, and he’s put up a reward for you.” Hazen forcefully grabs a handful of Gavin’s hair. He winces in pain as his head jerks backward.

My throat tightens as Hazen’s face takes on a deadly expression. His eyes transform into a mesmerizing shade of deep blue, so dark they seem almost black.

“Do you know the punishment for going behind our backs?” he asks, and Gavin whimpers like a little bitch.

I murmur the word “death,” and Hazen gestures toward my knife. I pass it over to him.

“Remember I said earlier that you would be going on a bear hunt?” he asks, and I respond with a questioning raise of my eyebrows. In one fluid motion, Hazen uses the knife to cut Gavin’s restraints and then swiftly kicks him in the back. With a thud, he collapses to the ground.

“Freya here is going to count to ten, and you best hope you’re a fast runner, Gavin. ’Cause she’s fit,” Gage says, coming up to stand beside me, his shoulder gently brushing against mine.

I start counting as Gavin lifts his gaze from the ground. “One, two.” With a burst of energy, he leaps up and bolts past the shimmering lake, moving straight toward the depths of the forest.

“What are the chances that it’s Gavin McCreed, someone I actually hate?” I ask, looking between the three men. Lucas smirks, his eyes gleaming with mischief, Gage shrugs nonchalantly, and Hazen carefully hands me back the knife.

“Looks like you’re going hunting, and I’ll be right behind you,” Hazen says, his voice filled with anticipation.

I pause for a moment to absorb the peaceful sounds of the rustling leaves before following the path that leads me along the lake. The calmness of the outside world is a stark contrast to the turmoil I feel inside.
